The 2012 Finale: 112 Unforgettable Songs We Enjoyed

Here we are at the last day of a calendar year once again and only a few months removed from the The Intermission and the first 75 songs we loved. When we started years ago, who knew we’d even see this many Decembers together, as writers and readers?

But we’re here and, as usual, we wanted to share the songs that gave us joy (and job security) for yet another year. As a staff, we gathered up the titles, sans rhyme or reason or any logical cohesion, except that we played these records on repeat so often they deserve mention as the key tracks that stood out from our personal playlists.

As always, there are no rankings here. We couldn’t do that if we wanted to because, as a Crew, every member stands strong behind their choices and blood would be spilled trying to crown one tune above the 100+ others. These are simply our favorites; feel free to add a few of yours in the comments.

Great, great list. My one nitpick is that “Reagan” isn’t really about Reagan specifically, but everybody else seems to make that same mistake and it was just meant to be a short write-up so I’ll let it slide.

Did ya’ll reduce the pages, this was crashing on me earlier. TBH I was fully prepared to click on all the pages (just this once) to see Gotty and crew got some new years cash! I’ll just click on this one ten times instead…

Dope ass end of the year list CHEA….But, Can’t agree with most of that top 10 (Angels wasn’t even the most unforgettable from the ASAP album imo) but that BFK intro, Kendrick’s track and the Fun. Joint most def are up in there. Also I think someone already said it but”In the A” was one of the hardest songs of the entire year.
